Year 7 Boys' Rugby Tournament

Congratulations to the Year 7 Boys' Rugby team. On Monday, 19 November, the team took part in a day festival hosted at Portsmouth Rugby Camp. Altogether ten games were played against schools from all over Hampshire.  All of the games were competitive and played in an excellent spirit. A special mention goes to Mackenzie Edwards for his quick passing hands, Austin Cole for his excellent rucking at the breakdown. To Chase Hutchinson for his brilliant tackling and to Toby Stoneman for his excellent reading of the game. Great progress was made from start to finish and the boys should be very proud of their achievements. Well done!
